Probably Netflix’s most original animated series, Bojack Horseman had been ignored by the audience for long. It took everyone a while to realize that they were missing out on one of the best Netflix shows. This series is based on a world where humans live with “half-human – half-animals”. Although it is a funny show, the humor and sarcastic references made on the current situation of the world will make you think. What is more interesting in Bojack Horseman is the pragmatic approach made on life’s general yet powerful difficulties. This show teaches a way to escape from trauma, addiction, and depression. You might have to watch an episode or two to get a clear grip on the theme and satirical Hollywood and pop-culture references.

Mindhunter

Remember Se7en? David Fincher brings you another suspense thriller; but this time, in the form of a TV series. The show follows Holden Ford, an FBI agent who interviews serial killers in the 70s & 80s. Mindhunter is said to be based on real-life serial killers who were studied by the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) in the FBI. If you think it might be just another agent story, then you are wrong. What will take you aback is the obsession with the serial killers, which the interviewer develops as he gets to learn about the obsession of the killers with their victims. Mindhunter is defined by the twists and characters. As you watch, check out the courtesy to details.

Daredevil
